Vintage Hand Painted Silk Floral Scarf Shawl 1980s Moscow Red Sunflower

An especially unusual example, with an oversized sunflower and botanical composition and dramatic 7-inch-long fringe along the edges. The scarf retains its original Soviet era factory tag, identifying it as a Moscow made scarf and giving the original size as 85 × 85 cm. The tag also carries the original Soviet era pricing and production information. The design is wonderfully characteristic of the bold, expressive textile art produced during the late Soviet period. It has a very different aesthetic from the more familiar traditional Russian floral scarves, this one is decidedly graphic, artistic, and fashion-forward. • Silk portion: approximately 34” × 32” • Fringe: approximately 7” long • Total dimensions including fringe: approximately 41” × 39” • Vintage Soviet-era textile • Made in Moscow, USSR • Silk • Hand-painted floral design • Original factory tag attached • Dramatic long fringe The scarf displays beautifully as a shawl, wrap, or statement accessory, and would also make an exceptional textile for a collector of Soviet design and vintage Russian fashion.
